Why? Because we were celebrating the end of summer by having a fantastic BBQ and I couldn’t think of a better dessert to end the season with! There is also the fact that I have been going through a huge period of nostalgia in my life and these remind me of the chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches I ate as a kid… just you know, kicked up a notch… or 10? Haha. The thing is if you look at the recipe and you are like “oh heck no, I don’t have time for that!” then you can make any part of the recipe you want. Just the ice cream or just the cookie dough! The recipe couldn’t be any easier either! Yes, it seems like a lot of steps, but they are all so easy to follow along I promise they won’t fail you!
For detailed instructions on the Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, you can visit that post as well! In a bowl with a mixer or a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars. until they are noticeably lighter in color and very fluffy. This usually takes a couple of minutes. Add in milk and vanilla and mix for a couple of seconds. Add in flour and salt. *Change to the original recipe here* Take a third of the cookie dough out of the bowl and into a large microwave safe bowl. Mix 1/3 cup chocolate chips into remaining dough. Freeze the cookie dough in a sheet. Take out and cut into small squares for adding into the ice cream.
Melt the cookie dough without the chocolate chips in the microwave on half power for a minute until it gets melty. For detailed instructions on the Vanilla Ice Cream, visit the Classic Drumstick Ice Cream Cones post. Add in 4 cups of half and half, can of sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Mix well together until mostly combined. Some of the cookie dough may not completely break down, that is totally okay.
Freeze in your ice cream machine according to instructions. Seconds before you are ready to take ice cream out, add the chunks of the eggless cookie dough and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the machine.
Top completed ice cream with additional chunks of cookie dough and chocolate.

Can you recommend an ice cream maker? Your amazon store has been down for a few days and I’m jonesing for homemade ice cream even though it is freezing!! Thanks.
I actually like using a gelato maker because it’s self freezing. Here’s a link to the one I use http://amzn.to/2ErJWEu
I know it is a million calories, but I want it so bad! That is the best looking ice cream sandwich I have ever seen. So making this!
No way! It is only 30000 😉
That first picture is totally mouth watering! My goodness. I just had a boring bowl of ice cream. I’d so trade it for this! lol

Cookie heaven! I love the cookies sandwiched in between more cookies. I’m fairly certain I can hear my ice cream maker calling to me now.
I’m all about maximum cookies per bite 🙂
